Step 1
Pat the fish dry inside and out with paper towels. Score the thickest part of the body diagonally 3 times on each side.
Step 2
Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the fish in the center, season lightly with salt and pepper inside and out.
Step 3
Pour water into the pan until it reaches 1/4 inch up the sides. Cover tightly with foil. Steam in a 400°F oven for 8–10 minutes, until the flesh flakes easily at the thickest point.
Step 4
While fish steams, whisk lime juice, minced garlic, sliced chili, and fish sauce in a small bowl until combined.
Step 5
Remove the fish from the oven and carefully pour off excess water. Transfer the fish to a serving plate.
Step 6
Pour the lime-chili sauce over the fish and scatter cilantro on top. Serve immediately.
